Sunday tea, migraines and weekends

1. After many months of silence, I text a dear friend to see how she is. We end up arranging to meet for tea on Sunday.
2. My migraines seem to have gone away. For now at least.
3. It's the weekend so there's time for afternoon naps, reading and catching up on all the TV I've missed this past week. Criminal Minds, here I come!

The weather, chocolate and a movie

My page is looking a little dull, so here are pics of what I'm grateful for today.

1. Sunny weather is very welcome after all the rain.

2. I gave in to this, after trying to battle my chocolate craving.

3. I may have found Stephanie Meyer's writing to be 'dire' as my friend E put it, but I'm still looking forward to catching BD Part 1 this evening. It must be the 'Rosemary Baby's' scene that's fueling my excitement.

Peace, breakfast and shoes

I'm thankful for these today:

1. Quiet in the office. I'm always amazed at how much I can get done when I'm alone.
2. A green tea brioche for breakfast. Soft, and full of green tea flavoured cream.
3. Comfortable new shoes that kept my feet (relatively) dry from the rain.

Thai food, a trip and friends

1. A lovely, spicy Thai meal. All paid for by a colleague in thanks for help rendered.
2. A 3-day trip to Kuala Lumpur lurks just around the corner. Food and shopping, here I come!
3. I'm asked by a friend heading to Paris for a holiday if there's something I'd like. It's nice when your friends think of you.

New books, organising and TV

1. Two books sit on my side table waiting to be read. I think I'll start on Camilla Lackberg's The Hidden Child first.
2. New storage containers mean I spend a happy hour (or two) organising and arranging my bead stash. I spend more time admiring the beads than I do organising them.
3. I while away a lazy, rainy Sunday buying, downloading and watching several new TV shows. Among my faves - Ringer, the new series starring Buffy Summers herself, and the always yummy Ioan Gruffudd.

1BT

I find myself crying at regular intervals while reading this. By the end, I was sobbing like a baby. Yes, I'm sentimental and often have fits of melancholy. But the extent and intensity of the crying took me by surprise. If you haven't read this book by Ann Brashares, you might want to try it. But be sure to have some tissue nearby, just in case.

Prejudice, cupcakes and books

1. I watched a play yesterday that made me think and re-think the issue and nature of prejudice and racism. I appreciated the thought and hard work that went into the writing and execution of the play.
2. A tupperware of carrot cake cupcakes waits for me in the fridge. Thank you to S for being such a generous friend.
3. I picked up the library books I reserved and looking forward to spending the day reading.
